Sorry about the noise, but I miss g77 or f77 on my FreeBSD 7.0-PRE
box. Where is it? Hasn't gcc 4.2 as incorporated in FreeBSD as the
native compiler also a native fortran 90 compiler?
No, you need to install the gfortran port. This is presumably
documented in the release notes.

Thank you for the answer.
Wouldn't it be more convenient for all having both the C/C++ and Fortran
compiler aboard the operating system since the compiler suite is a whole
piece?
Well, no offense, but this remembers me on the time when SUN split the
C-Compiler apart the OS or it looks like the behaviour of many Linux
distribution even splitting header files apart from the OS. Hope FreeBSD
will not tend to take apart header files and even the C compiler ...
No, it's not convenient. There is a large maintenance cost for keeping
the fortran compiler in the base system for little gain (nothing in
FreeBSD uses it), and it is also only of use to a small subset of
FreeBSD users, so this is a perfect situation where moving it to the
ports collection made sense.
